    This image was shot at Bellymack farm in Dumfries, this fame was taken shortly after the last image I posted.

    I've only made a few minor adjustments to the exposure, cropped from the left and right and sharpened a little.

    I'd love to hear people's comments on this shot.

    Shot Details
    Body: 1 DX
    500mm F4 Mk2
    ISO 400
    1/2500th

    I like it! Nice details and techs in this one and I like the unorthodox pose. A couple suggestions would be to selectively lighten the face a bit and I might consider a vertical composition with a bit more room below. Well done

    I like the shot very much indeed - good and sharp. I like the pose head and tail are sharp.
    Having said that something is bugging me regarding the colours, not sure what to say .. is the image a little too cold?

    Do like the pose you have caught this in with good eye contact,agree about the crop and would like to see it with the colour lifted a bit,very well caught.
